How to delete a page from a PDF

Scanners love to add a blank final page, and contracts often carry pages you have no reason to forward. Taking pages out is the most common PDF edit there is.

Split a PDF
Whichever tool you use here, the file stays on your device. How that works

Step by step

  1. 1Open the split tool and add your PDF. You get a thumbnail of every page.
  2. 2Look through and note which pages you want to keep, not the ones you want gone.
  3. 3Select the pages to keep and save them as one file.
  4. 4Open the result and check the page count before you send it anywhere.

Keep what you want, rather than removing what you do not

It sounds like the same thing, but selecting the pages you want is far less error prone than deleting one at a time. You end up checking your work as you go, and there is no risk of losing a page you meant to keep because the numbering shifted under you.

Watch out for double sided scans. A scanner set to duplex will produce a blank page for the back of every single sided sheet, so a ten page document arrives as twenty. Removing the blanks halves the file size as well as the page count.

Your original is never modified. The tool produces a new file, so if you cut the wrong page you simply start again from the document you still have.

Questions

Can I remove several pages at once?

Yes. Select every page you want to keep and save them together in one go.

Will the remaining pages be renumbered?

The page order stays as it was. Any numbers printed on the pages themselves are part of the image and do not change.

Is the document uploaded?

No. The pages are read and rewritten inside your browser.
